Meanwhile, the bars and the tea rooms in Parliament have been quietly humming with the sound of plotting and scheming.

For some, about how to take control of Brexit. For others, how to grab the keys to Number Ten.

While no-one can be sure of anything just now, none of the outcomes being discussed by MPs look anything but grim for the prime minister and her plan.

Some MPs are wondering: might a narrow defeat next week mean she could try to squeeze more out of Brussels? She might try, but the signs are the EU's all out of big concessions.

Ministers 'can still win over Brexit rebels'
Would she even get the chance to try before she's forced out by her party? Labour's hope of forcing an election seems a little remote.

There's more respect than support for Mrs May among Tories. Some senior Conservatives say, privately, the answer could be to choose a caretaker prime minister to carry on in some fresh direction.

Meanwhile, rival leadership contenders are quietly getting ready to run - even to the point of promising jobs.

One senior Tory told me he'd been offered a senior cabinet post by TWO of them in exchange for his support. And you can bet he's not the only one.

There's still a chance the government pulls out of the big vote and, by so doing, buys a bit more time.

There's another proposal by Labour MP and Brexit select committee chairman, Hilary Benn, to rule out a no-deal Brexit, and rule in a soft version.

That would reunite some Brexiteers and Mrs May and maybe even limit the scale of any defeat.

Yet more speculation, obviously. The prime minister will be mulling her options and her future this weekend. But those options, and maybe her time in office, could be running out.

NASA's OSIRIS-REx Probe Already Discovers Evidence of Water on Astroid[edit]

NASA’s Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security-Regolith Explorer OSIRIS-REx has found evidence of water trapped inside clay on the surface of the asteroid Bennu.

In other good news for the mission, the data obtained so far from the OSIRIS-REx Camera Suite (OCAMS) validates the ground-based telescopic observations of Bennu.

NASA's first asteroid sample return mission, OSIRIS-REx, reached the asteroid Bennu only a week ago, but it's already learning more about this time capsule from the early solar system.

The spacecraft which departed earth in Mid August was able to begin its mission en route, turning its scientific equipment towards the asteroid as it traveled closer.

The initial observations from the spacecraft’s two spectrometers, the OSIRIS-REx Visible and Infrared Spectrometer (OVIRS) and the OSIRIS-REx Thermal Emission Spectrometer (OTES), have shown that there are molecules in the asteroid that contain oxygen and hydrogen atoms bonded together, known as “hydroxyls.”

NASA scientists' hypothesis that hydroxyl groups are present across the surface of the asteroid and indicate that Bennu’s surface once met with water.

OSIRIS-REx will continue to survey the asteroid by flying by its north pole, equator and south pole, sometimes as close as 4.4 miles away, to determine mass. This will help researchers determine when to put OSIRIS-REx into orbit, as well as understanding its structure and composition.

Full story:
A mining dam in Brumadinho collapsed last friday. On January 25, 2019, the tailings dam, owned by Brazilian company Vale and located in , collapsed after a reported catastrophic failure, causing a mudflow to destroy multiple houses, killing at least 58 people in the process, and injuring 23 others. 305 people have also gone missing as a result of the break. After the break, president Jair Bolsonaro sent three ministers in rescue efforts. Two days later, on January 27, a potential second dam break was announced with sirens at about 5:00 AM. As a result, 24,000 people were evacuated.

It's a story that has been heavily covered. It would require extremely high motivation to write a sufficiently detailed article to be worth adding to that already out there. BRS(Talk)(Contribs) 19:57, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Unlikely; this is a heavily covered story that would require a mountain of work to add anything worthwhile to the coverage. BRS(Talk)(Contribs) 21:39, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

Which policy or guideline states that we shouldn't cover big stories...? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 02:45, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

That isn't what I said? This user is asking somebody else to do something for them; they need to really sell it. This is just a bald demand. BRS(Talk)(Contribs) 02:48, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Not to give the impression there was anything out-of-order about the request, that being the purpose of this page; but the reply to the request seemed okay to me too. --Pi zero (talk) 03:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

Description:
Although Google announced that it would shut down the censored China search engine project in 2018 after backlash from its employees, new investigations reveal that the project has not been halted.

Full story:
Google censored China search engine, project "Dragonfly", was supposedly shut down after Google employees protested against the product. However, when leadership at Google were not clear about ending this project, employees started internally investigating its progress. There are still about 100 employees who are assigned to this project and there have been code changes made, which can mean that the project is still on-going.

As we advance in our modern time more and more kids (between the age of 10-16) start having phones. At the age of 13, this is okay, but, when kids of 10 and 11 have phones there starts to become problems. Like cyberbullying, addictions, and self-consciousness. Parents should give their kids phones at a proper age, but also protect them from the dangers of social media and so on.

Lets hope that as phones grow so does responsibility when using one also grows!
